Yosemite National Park Evacuated Amid Threat From Fire

Further south, the Cranston Fire, believed to have been started by arson, had charred 4,700 acres around 90 miles east of Los Angeles in the San Jacinto Mountains. The declarations authorize the state to rally resources to local government. It had already forced residents out of French Gulch, a hamlet dating to the Gold Rush.

"People have been very understanding", Gediman said. "You travel all the way, and you don't come to these parks all the time".

At this point, no homes or structures have been destroyed by the blaze.

Persistently warm and dry conditions, coupled with poor overnight humidity recovery, created conditions for active fire behavior throughout the day.

While the smoke that wraps the park is good reason to stay away, this isn't the first time Yosemite National Park faced the threat of wildfires.

About 3,000 residents were under evacuation orders Thursday in Idyllwild and several neighboring communities.

Authorities said it was threatening an estimated 600 homes.

The fire in the San Bernardino National Forest has no containment.

Throughout the day, helicopters and planes dumped water and fire retardant that turned swathes of land and homes pink. Most are in western states, with blazes also in central Texas and Wisconsin, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

Homes burned as a fast-moving wildfire forced an entire Southern California mountain town to evacuate Wednesday, while tourists emptied from the heart of Yosemite National Park so firefighters could battle a growing blaze nearby. The closure was heartbreaking for travelers, many of whom mapped out their trips months in advance to hike and climb amid the spectacular views of cascading waterfalls and sheer rock faces. "It was a father-daughter trip, for her high school graduation ... Now it's done. It's sad".

The smoke, which stems from the Ferguson Fire that started July 13, has burned more than 36,600 acres, or 57 square miles, AccuWeather reports, and since Tuesday has only been 25 percent contained.

The heart of Yosemite National Park remained empty the day after campers and hotel guests were evicted so firefighters could try to keep the state's largest fire from entering the park almost two weeks after it was sparked.
